Transfer: Mbappe breaks silence on Neymar leaving PSG for Barcelona -

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe has said he wants teammate Neymar’s stay at the Parc des Princes, despite speculation over a summer return to former club, Barcelona.

Neymar joined the Ligue 1 champions in 2017 for a world-record €222million fee.

However, he has not taken part in any preseason action this summer, with PSG hopeful that Barca would make an acceptable offer.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Trophee des Champions clash with Rennes, Mbappe said his wish is that Neymar stays put.

“Everybody knows about his situation,” Mbappe said at a news conference in Shenzhen.

“I do not want him to leave. He knows what I think of him and his situation.”
